Book advises Mal on how an attack by an Operative against him could occur. Book has unusual knowledge of security, criminal and military activity, which puzzles Mal no explanation is ever given. Meanwhile, the crew arrives at Haven, the mining colony where Shepherd Book now has a congregation and are greeted by him. Inara greets the Operative at the temple where she's living with her intuition and training, she realizes something is wrong. There is something they want and River is part of it. He tells the crew the advert code triggering River's combat training was high level Alliance military. Universe ( David Krumholtz), a kind of media hacker with knowledge of all kinds, who lives with his 'Lovebot' on his own moon. Meanwhile the Operative, who ordered the broadcast of the trigger to expose River, is viewing the bar's security feed on his command ship, and a profile of Mal. Simon enters, sending her to sleep with a code word. Jayne tries to stop River and fails, while Mal gets to his gun and aims at the exact moment River aims a captured weapon back at him. This triggers her combat training she whispers 'Miranda' and begins systematically taking out everyone around her. River enters the bar and sees an ad on the viewscreen. Fanty and Mingo (the Feldman twins), Mal's sponsors for the job, are waiting for them at the Maidenhead Bar on Beaumonde, and want more of the take. Kaylee, who has a crush on Simon, is distressed. Back aboard in relative safety, Simon punches Mal for endangering River, then declares their intention to leave the ship. The crew has an eventful escape, Mal shooting a man who wanted to escape rather than letting him be captured by the Reavers. On the border planets, Reavers are feared for their unprovoked, cannibalistic, frenzied attacks they are only known from urban legend on the central planets. It begins without any major hitch, then River senses and warns them of arriving Reavers. (For information on why Inara and Book left the ship, see IMDB discussion boards.) After River's escape, the Tams found sanctuary with this crew, but Mal plans to make use of River's psychic abilities on this job - against Simon's wishes. Two faces familiar from the series are no longer aboard, but we meet them later: the "companion," Inara Serra ( Morena Baccarin), and a shepherd (preacher), Derria Book ( Ron Glass). The crew members (all familiar to Firefly fans) are the pilot, Hoban "Wash" Washburn ( Alan Tudyk) his wife Zoe ( Gina Torres), second in command, a veteran and war comrade of Mal's hired gun Jayne Cobb ( Adam Baldwin) and the engineer, Kaywinnet Lee "KayLee" Frye ( Jewel Staite). Serenity is about to break atmo on the planet Lilac on one of the crews' not-always-legal jobs - this time a bank heist. The credit sequence, set eight months after the events of the teaser, introduces us to the "Firefly" class freighter Serenity, owned and captained by former Independent soldier Malcolm (Mal) Reynolds ( Nathan Fillion). He has orders to deal with the security lapse and the project director's failure as well as to find River and bring her back. Simon Tam ( Sean Maher), infiltrates the lab and frees her, but the breakout was a security recording viewed after the event by the Operative ( Chiwetel Ejiofor). This classroom scenario is seen to be the memory or dream of River Tam ( Summer Glau), who is in a drugged sleep under confinement at the Alliance Academy facility, being groomed as some form of programmed assassin. The events in the teaser occur prior to the first episode of the TV series: The Universal logo changes to show ships leaving 25th Century Earth as a teacher's voice-over describes the exodus from "Earth that was" and the terraforming and colonization of planets in the new 'verse.' An introduction to the system government known as the Alliance follows, mentioning the war for system-wide control - the War of Independence, as it's known to the losing opposition, the Browncoats. The pre-title teaser provides backstory for those unfamiliar with the Firefly TV series.
